With the fight just days away now, Eddie Hearn has weighed-in with his prediction on how he sees the Joshua vs Franklin fight playing out.
Eddie Hearn has been Joshua’s promoter for his entire professional boxing career. He has been the man behind ‘AJ’ from the outset, and is full of confidence that his man will deliver an emphatic performance on Saturday night at the O2 Arena.
In a recent interview with iD Boxing, the Matchroom Boxing kingpin said he fully expects ‘AJ’ to beat Franklin on Saturday night but is under no illusions that it will be a tough fight for his man:
“I’d love him [Joshua] to make a statement, but I just want to see him win. What’s underrated about Anthony Joshua is his speed, his power and his combination punching.
“A lot of that will be down to Derrick James to make sure he has the confidence, belief and the tank to let those fly. If he does that, it’s going to be a difficult night for Jermaine Franklin.
“Franklin has shown how tough he is and he was in it right up to the 12th round [against Dillian Whyte]. I think he’ll be fitter in this fight as well.
“I feel like Franklin is going to raise his game against AJ, but I believe AJ will knock him out, but I don’t think it’s going to be easy.”
